So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Throughout Israel’s history, there have been men who were inspired to speak a message to the people known mostly as “prophets or seers”. However, much of the people saw these men, not as the true voice of God; therefore, the people gave … Continue reading So then faith comes by hearing

Merry Christmas
It’s the last minutes of Dec. 24; and I just got back from having communion and prayer. It’s been awhile since I’ve written anything and while I was having communion a thought popped into my mind as my Pastor was describing the purpose of the broken body and blood of Jesus.
